I used to be a dishwasher at a Chinese restaurant and Jimmy Yang is on the money in his stands up comedic description. There were many highly educated Chinese broken English uncles who had ‘zero’ corporate America pathway but work as a cook at as chef in a restaurant.

Today, had the securecontact HunterForce and installed. The wife likes them.

Agree, I use the same products and live in the rust belt. This is one of the best combination but not inexpensive.

It is going to be interesting how the GF6 compares to the eventually newer GF7 version. Chemistry changes matter and requires re-verification.

This is what I use and works great on the cub cadet.

I ordered a set of Securecontact in June but was pushed to a July 15 TireRack DE pickup. $510 for a 09 Lexus ES350. Cheaper than the current 2019 GY WeatherReady.

My unit was modified in the 80’s and still working. Which year and month is the review. Please post. Thanks.

Yikes!

How much did u use?

@BrendanC Do u find the liquid moly motor oil saver helps with the valve stem and rear main seals? How much was added?

I don’t have Pb in my system ever and asked for a re-do on Iron, aluminum and lead. The results are even lower. Wear metals are 1.32ppm/1 K mi To the Valvoline team, thank u and I will be reducing my future UOA.

The HPL Euro is suppose to have a high Boron that gets consumed during use but my HPL Euro has high moly which I cannot explain.

HPL Euro is a very different oil than Valvoline Restore and Protect and has more expensive base stock which shows up as higher oxidation and nitration values. Valvoline Restore and Protect is built on the cheaper Group 3+ base stock with Valvoline’s exclusive proprietary low wear additives.

I agree. It is my forever oil. Sample #5 is VHM 5w-30, #4 is HPl euro is sample #3 + 5457mi, #3 is HPl euro 5w-30 with 4k on the oil. No oil consumption

An update.

As promised the results are in. I asked for the missing oxidation and nitration. In my case, the Valvoline Restore and Protect is a 5k OCI for the 2GR-FE. It is a Ho-Hum post. 1.75 ppm/ 1K mi wear metal rate. With Valvoline Restore and Protect, I think I will start doing a UOA after every 2 or...

Called customer service and they said Monday cob.

No rebate offered on the LX25 tire.

Using the post as a placeholder when the UOA is completed. It has been an arduous journey since May 1 for an UOA.

Just arrived today. Despite having a printed shipping label, I was very lucky they found it. This UOA will be the 2nd Valvoline Restore and Protect oc.
